The Son

A poem

By Yasmin Elephant Published 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

It’s okay to feel the exact opposite

It’s okay and senseless

Because it doesn’t derive from you

Common you

You who seemingly don’t react to us

Who shines its waves

Who burns me gently

I

love

that

They messed you up

Water and air are your ornaments

In our eyes, the ones who count

I look at you and realize how fast we’re moving

And that is just what it is

Waves are not just the wind blowing

And it’s okay

(This poem’s word count is 81 and it seems odd to me that it can’t be submitted to the poets community, I hope you’ll accept it)
